Revel In Excess With Carnevale’s New Pinnacle Of Affluence

TTCombat are giving the Patricians a boost with a new miniature dedicated to the Pinnacle Of Affluence. The Opulent Noble can be pre-ordered for use in your games of Carnevale. He might put off your opponents with his sheer gaudiness.

The Opulent Noble demands complete obedience from his followers and shouts out his commands from his enormous and over-the-top palanquin. His enormous bulk is hefted through the streets of Venice, sampling whatever food takes his fancy.

But until the big win I would have to decline the purchase.
Laying a trap for this fella? A trail of pies leading to a Sharkerooceros. Bring it on!
He is a (glorious) command piece. He is a big sack of hit points with multiple Command options of bossing the socially inferior about. “You there, do something!” Is an aura ability to give friendlies First Strike (2) until end of round, which means 2 extra attack dice each. “Stop them damn you, I don’t care what it takes!” Gives everyone bodyguard towards Pinnacle of Affluence himself. If he is attacked then his sycophants will rush towards him and attack his attacker. “Bask in my magnificence!” Is his most unique party trick. Some (but far from all) characters have a… Read more »
